I am a photographer from National Geography. Happened to be there as part of doing an assessment for an assignment on This county. town and local flavors. The first time I was there, Food
( $8.00 hamburger )was awful ( bun cold, burger over done, mushroom uncooked) I came back
with my writer a second time. He at that time had broke is leg, and on medication. He therefore was perceived to be drunk as he was limping going the the WC, and not using his crutches. He also had order food. Was refused to served a glass of wine. We then asked for the food to be packed in. At this point an of duty bartender just dumped it in a container. I try to talk to the female bartender and reasoned with her, in a civilized manner, however, and obviously her demeanor and understanding of customer service paralleled her education or lack there of ..! Granted we bought a few drinks to the local color! trying to get into the ambiance of the community. That been said I have travel all over the world, from Bangkok to Borneo, been in the best and the worst of Pubs, Bistros, Casbah Cafes. This has to be the worst experience my 45 years in this business. We are (NG) in the process of doing a piece for 2012 of Cultural USA. I cannot stop that,
But they just missed their chance. it was between them and the top of the Hill bar/restaurant where we where welcome and had a few glass of wines, great food (recommend the Spring rolls and a great interviews and pictures with guests, and went on to our hotel up the road. We are a gentlemen, an did not discuss our experience with any one else. How ever if you happen to live or go to this town . Away you must stay from this place. It is the WORST. They think they are 3 star Michelin, but in reality just an Oasis for lost souls, a we where foreigners, but they had no problems serving other patron which where pretty intoxicated. I guest the bartenders knows where their money come from!!!!

I worked there for 3 months a few years back.... and it was 3 months too long. Almost everyone who worked there was two faced, and management was the worst I've ever had. Don't work here unless you're a heartless soul. I do agree with the comment about the wings and things special. You should be able to take food home. You've already bought it... what does it matter?

But.... this site if for rating the food experience.The food is good. If you're going for a night of fun and awesome food, I DO recommend eating here. So.... judging on the food, I give it a 3.

After a special evening with family my mother was told she could not take her leftovers home. Apparently "it was a special and that is the rule".. there we go with those rules again.

It left our whole table feeling deflated and somewhat abused. After spending a significant amount of money on drinks, along with the wings special, we were not permitted to take 6 wings, that we could not eat, home with us in a to-go box . Reason given "too many people come in and order the 'wing special', eat 1 and then ask for a to-go box just to get the special". I seriously doubt that. Get real and lighten up.. you are loosing good customers.

I was not impressed with the place at all. Everyone moved at a slow pace and didn't look happy to be there at all. The food had to of been sitting for some time before I received it. I will not ever go there again!

I used to be a regular at the Rawhide every Thursday, but recently what used to be an evening of fun and relaxation with my buddies has turned into a frustrating atmosphere of strict rules and stipulations. It seems that every time I go there they give me new reasons to never come back. I have since sought out more inviting places to meet with my friends, ones that make me feel welcomed and not a burden, a valued customer and not just money in their pocket.

The atmosphere isn't the greatest, but it is unique. If you're a smoker you probably think it's awesome. The food is really good. They have the best burgers in Ephrata. I liked some of the Native American art they had on the wall. I wouldn't take young children there, though.

When you go into this establishment you feel like you are going into the underground. It is not an inviting atmosphere and reeks of cigarette smoke. On the other hand they have excellent food! If nothing else I would go back for that.
